Default How to reduce pge size after finishing doc.w/text and pics.

I am using word 2007. I have pages in my document with Pictures with print
over them...some pages have wrapped text....some pages are just text.

My document is on size 8 x 11 pages. I am trying to put all of these into
the size 5.83 x 8.27 page found under "Page Layout" - "Size". I thought it
would reduce everything automaticaly to the smaller page size when I clicked
on the page size mentioned above. It reduced the pictures in the document
but all of the text is not visible. The text pages are blank.

Do I have to reduce font size on text and reduce pictures seperately? The
document is about 80 pages long in the 8 x 11 size.

How are you reducing the page size, and what version of Word are you using?

When you say it "loses the text", what is happening? Is the text being cut
off at the margins? When you reduce the page size, are you not reducing the
margins, accordingly, as well? If you are reducing the outer dimensions of
the page, but are not adjusting the text so that it fits within the
printable region of the printer, then one would expect for the text to be
cut off. If the page/paper settings are set up correctly, however, Word
should be warning you that that is going to happen, though. Hence, to help,
more information on exactly what you're doing is needed, since Word should
be handling the details if you're using one of the built-in methods.

When I apply a smaller page size to my document that has text and
pictures,
it reduces the picture size, but loses the text. How can I reduce size of
pages and reduce text and pictures?
